Lakhvir Singh Khalsa

I have lived in Kenya for about 25 years now but living in a land away from my spiritual home has in itself created that yearning and eager yearning to return. I work as a Graphic Designer and currently, Ill be honest – I hate my job. My mind is not in it. My mind is somewhere else, thinking of Sikhi all the time . . . Sikhi, Sikhi, Sikhi and I keep contemplating an escape and prayerfully beseeching Waheguru to take me away from here and place me in the midst of Panthic seva. I know no other desire, I so want to live my whole life in the service my Guru’s great Khalsa Panth. I’m alone in that dream right now . . . but who knows whose company I just may be blessed with to help realise our common goal – to reunite with our Waheguru . . .

We’re all on a journey, walking onward, back to our Source – our Creator, our Beloved Husband Lord. It’s a journey that anyone should be able to relate to. But we need to understand its essentials, lest we gather too much that would anchor us down. We need to make that progress, and fast, if you are desperate . . . at least I am. Who knows, if there is a tomorrow? But God, in His Infinite Mercy, is ever Gracious . . . Meharvaan, Sahib Mera Meharvaan . . . We need to jump on to this Bus and let the Guru drive you . . . simply enjoy the drive . . . the Destination is not too far, because to those who feel He is close, He most certainly is.

I usually subscribe to a number of inspirational e-newsletters, gatherng wisdom from across different faiths. To me, being a Sikh has given me peace of mind. In another post, I’ll write about what Sikhi means to me and what transformations it has brought into not only my own life, but into those with whom I have interacted with.

In an inspirational message I received in my mail this morning, it speaks of none the better about what exactly is in my mind right now . . .

‘If you won’t be better tomorrow than you were today, then what do you need tomorrow for?’-Rebbe Nachman of Breslov

I say, my tomorrow has come. If WaheguruJi so wills, time to be better has come. No looking back now, I can see my Guru in the horizon, awaiting me with open arms . . .

When I read about you, I found that I am sailing in the same boat. I am a software engineer working in software testing and automation domain in Tata Consultancy Services. My situation is same as yours. My mind is not into what I am doing…My mind is always into Sikhi, Sikhi, Sikhi…Like you, “I keep contemplating an escape and prayerfully beseeching Waheguru to take me away from here and place me in the midst of Panthic seva.”.
Perhaps our beloved Waheguru would bless us and shower us with seva of Khalsa Panth…I love my Khalsa, I love my Sikh family.
In today’s time, when so many sikhs are becoming ‘Patit’, it hurts like anything.
Kindly guide me and lets join hands and do Ardaas before our Waheguru that we realize our ultimate goal of life.
In anticipation of your reply….

I am writing a kind of educational story for my students in Germany. The first parts are already online (see URL above). It deals with finding material on the web that can be used in the classroom for a presentation. The topic is “The Life of Sikhs in Britain”. The posters you have designed are not only beautiful and have a powerful message but could be used to elicit questions as they need clarification for people not familiar with the Sikh faith.

Could I possibly use one or more as illustrations for the educational story. I would, of course, put in a link to your website and attribute the source. I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you veer ji for taking time out and expressing yourself via this blog. Indeed it is a very inspirational and educational blog. Keep it up.

I just wanted to inform you and all the readers of this blog about an Akhand Path happening in Gurudwara, Kericho on the 13th to 15th July 2007. Sangat coming from around the world for the barsi of Bhai Sahib Bhai Norang Singh ji.

If you have time and can spare some time, please come down and join the sangat in prayer.

Good luck with everything and may Guru ji keep you and your family in chardikala.

Lakhvir Singh, Sikhi is an external robe that you wear. There is no differece in your Guru & You. “Man tun Jyot saroop hain Apna mool pachaan” You need to identify your divine capabilities. You need to be Universal mindset if sikhi is to be practiced within. Sikhi comes to people, not being a sikh practicing cultural ethics, rather it inducts to human beings who love & heal the soul of all human beings. eg; Bhagat Puran Singh was a sikh, mother teresa was too a sikh.

When you quote Panth it resembles a narrow Political surrounding, When you quote Waheguru You take something from your inside & place it above you
an ideal. Lakhvir You are gem soul. Try to read & feel Guru Nanak within you. You may find what are we here for & what best can we perform.
